GENERAL INFORMATION

The University of Maryland School of Nursing was established in
the year 1889. Since that time it has been an integral part of the Uni-
versity of Maryland, coming under the same government.

The school is non-sectarian, the only religious services being morning
prayers.

The University of Maryland Hospital is a general hospital containing
435 adult beds and 70 bassinets. It is equipped to give young women a
thorough course of instruction and practice in all phases of nursing.

PROGRAMS OFFERED: The program of study of the school is planned
for two groups of students: (a) the three-year group and (b) the five-
year group.

The three-year program is designed to meet the requirements for the
Diploma in Nursing, and comprises the work of the first, second, and
third hospital years. The requirements for admission to the five-year
program of the School of Nursing are the same as for other colleges.
(A special catalog will be sent upon request of the Registrar, University
of Maryland, College Park, Maryland.)

REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION: A candidate for admission to the
School of Nursing must be a graduate of an accredited high school or
other recognized preparatory school, and must present evidence that she
has completed satisfactorily the required amount of preparatory study.
Preference will be given to students who rank in the upper third of the
graduating class in their preparatory schools.

Candidates are required to present 16 units for entrance.

Required: English (I, II, III, IV), 4 units; mathematics, 2 units; his-
tory, 1 unit; science, 2 units; foreign language, 1 unit (preferred).

Elective: Fine Arts, trade and vocational subjects are acceptable.

In addition to these requirements, students must meet other definite
requirements in regard to health, age, and personal fitness for nursing
work.

The preferable age for students registered for the three-year course
is 20 to 35 years, although students may be accepted at the age of 18.
Women of superior education and culture are given preference, pro-
vided they meet the requirements in other particulars. A personal inter-
view with the Director of the School is required whenever possible.

Application forms may be secured from the Director of the School of
Nursing, University of Maryland, Baltimore 1, Maryland.

REGISTRATION WITH MARYLAND STATE BOARD OF EXAMIN-
ERS OF NURSES: The Maryland State Board of Examiners of Nurses
requires all students entering schools of nursing in Maryland to register
at the beginning of their course with the Board in order to be eligible
to examination and license on completion of this course. This registra-
tion is accomplished after the applicant has been accepted into the
School of Nursing.

The fitness of the applicant for the work and the propriety of dis-
missing or retaining her at the end of her term of probation are left to
the decision of the Director of the School. Misconduct, disobedience,
insubordination, inefficiency, and neglect of duty are causes for dismissal.

ADMISSION TO THE SCHOOL: Students accepted for the spring term
are admitted in March, and those for the fall term in September. Admis-
sion to the five-year course occurs in September.

HOURS OF DUTY: During the probation period the students are
engaged in class work for the first six months with supervised prac-
tice in the hospital. For the remainder of their period of training they
are on a forty-eight hour weekly schedule. The period of night duty is
approximately five to six months during the three years.

SCHOOL OF NURSING

The first four months of the probation period are devoted to theoret-
ical and practical instruction given entirely in the lecture and demon-
stration rooms of the training school, hospital, and medical school labora-
tories. During the last two months of the probation period the students
are placed on duty in the hospital wards for instruction in bedside
nursing, and are expected to perform the duties assigned to them by
the Director of the School. At the close of the first semester the students
are required to pass satisfactorily both the written and practical tests,
attaining a grade of 75%. Failure to meet this requirement will be suffi-
cient reason to request the withdrawal of the student from the school.

SICKNESS: A physician is in attendance each day. Ill students are
cared for gratuitously. The time lost through illness in excess of two
weeks, during the three years, must be made up. Should the authorities
of the school decide that because of time lost the theoretical work has
not been sufficiently covered to permit a student to continue in any
year, it will be necessary for her to continue her work with the next
class.

VACATIONS: Vacations are given between May and October. A period
of four weeks is allowed during each of the first and second years, and
ten days during the third year.

EXPENSES: A fee of $50.00, payable on entrance, to be applied against
:he cost of uniforms after the probation period is required from all
students; plus student activity fee of $5.00. Each student receives her
board, lodging, and a reasonable amount of laundry from the date of
entrance. During her probation period she provides her own uniforms
and shoes at a cost of approximately $55.00. After the probation period
all uniforms and shoes are supplied by the hospital. Books are furnished
at the expense of the student. Her personal expenses during the course
of training and instruction will depend entirely upon her individual
habits and tastes.

GRADUATION: The Diploma in Nursing will be awarded to those who
have satisfactorily completed the full term of three years, and have
successfully passed the final examinations.

SCHOLARSHIP: The Janet Hale Memorial Scholarship of $250.00
given by the University of Maryland Nurses' Alumnae Association, is
awarded to the student having the highest record in scholarship to
pursue a course in administration, supervisory, or public health work at
Teachers College, Columbia University, New York.

AWARDS: There are two awards of $50.00 each known as the Edwin
and Leander M. Zimmerman, and the Elizabeth Collins Lee prizes. The
Woman's Auxiliary Board of the University of Mai viand presents the
Alumnae Pin and a one year membership in the Association, for prac-
tical nursing and executive ability. An award of $25.00 is given by
Mrs. John L. Whitehurst for the highest average in executive ability.
The Mary K. Waltham prize of $25.00 is awarded to the nurse who
shows the most human understanding in the attention given to the pa-
tients on the wards. The Flora Hoffman Tarun Memorial Prize of $25.00
is awarded for leadership, loyalty, and school spirit. The Sarah Finkel-

10 UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND

PROGRAM OF STUDY

The present School of Nursing offers a program of study, instituted in
1924, to two groups: to those who desire to complete their work in approxi-
mately thirty-six months, and to those who desire the five year combined
academic study and specialization in nursing. Those who complete the
latter course successfully receive the degree of Bachelor of Science with a
major in nursing as well as a diploma in nursing.

OBJECTIVES OF THE SCHOOL OF NURSING

In attempting to anticipate the future professional needs of its graduates,
the University of Maryland School of Nursing carefully selects young
women to educate them to become professional nurses who will administer
sympathetic and safe nursing care to the sick, and who will teach the
principles of health and prevention of disease needed in an ever-changing
society.

FACILITIES FOR EDUCATION

The University of Maryland Hospital, a general hospital, has a capacity
of 435 beds and 70 bassinets. The wards and Out-patient Department afford
valuable opportunities for the clinical experience of the student nurse as
well as for the study of family and community problems. The classroom,
laboratories, and library of the School of Medicine are available for instruc-
tional purposes. Clinical experience in Psychiatric Nursing is provided at
Sheppard and Enoch Pratt Hospital; in Communicable Disease Nursing at
Sydenham Hospital; and a limited number of affiliations in Public Health
Nursing with the Baltimore City Health Department.

RESIDENT FACILITIES

Student nurses reside in Louisa Parsons Hall. The residence is under
the direction of a graduate registered nurse. Plans for a new Nurses
Residence and Recreational Center have been approved for the near future.

LIBRARY FACILITIES

The School of Nursing Library is an integral part of the University of
Maryland library system, and is under the Director of Libraries of the
University. Both scientific and recreational collections of books are pro-
vided in the library which is conveniently located on the first floor of the
Louisa Parsons Hall.

The facilities of the Medical, Dental, Pharmaceutical, and Law School
Libraries are available to the students in the School of Nursing. Additional
facilities are provided at the main branch of the Enoch Pratt Free Library,
which comprises the public library system for the City of Baltimore; the
Peabody Library, which contains a large collection of non-circulating rare
books; the Maryland Historical Society Library; and the Library of Con-
gress, which conducts an inter-loan service to the major libraries of the
country.

THE SCHOOL OF NURSING 11

FEES AND ESTIMATED EXPENSES

Fixed Fee $50.00

Student Activity Fee 5.00

Library Fee 2.00

Textbooks 60.00

Uniforms 65.00

These costs are approximate and may fluctuate because of changing living
costs. Throughout the course students are provided maintenance which in-
cludes room, board, and laundry of uniforms. At the present time a limited
number of students are allowed the privilege of living at home, permission
for which is granted by the Director of Nurses. Students' uniforms will be
obtained after admission to the School of Nursing. Shoes, stockings and
other personal items are furnished by the students. Expenses such as meals,
carfare, and incidentals which the student incurs during periods of affiliation
or field trips are borne by the student.

HEALTH SERVICE

The School of Nursing maintains a Health Service for the students under
the general direction of a Committee on Health Services. Periodic health
examinations are provided for each student.

Vaccination against Typhoid Fever and Smallpox are required of all
students before admission to the School of Nursing. Medical care is pro-
vided for student nurses. Dental case is not provided in the Health Service,
but care is furnished by the Dental School of the University of Maryland at
a minimal fee to the student.

Time which is lost due to illness in excess of fourteen days during the
three year period, is required to be made up.

EXTRA PROFESSIONAL PROGRAM

The student nurses have a student government organization the function
of which is to assist in the government of the school in cooperation with the
faculty, and to plan recreational activities.

Upon her admission each new student is met by one of the older students
who acts as her big sister. This is a helpful relationship in which the older
student assists the new one with advice and suggestions based on her own
experience in the School of Nursing.

Recreational facilities are utilized to the utmost. The "Y" pool is rented
for Tuesday nights. Here the students enjoy the relaxation of a cool swim
or the hilarity of sport in the water after a busy day. During the winter
season, basketball is played in the gym of the church next door. In the
warmer months, badminton in the court is substituted. Parties for tennis
and other sports are made up from time to time and held in the parks or
other surrounding facilities. A dance or a big party is held about once a
month. The nurses dining room is used for informal dances and a downtown
hotel ballroom for formal ones. The adjacent Schools of Medicine, Phar-
macy, and Dentistry cooperate in these dances and add to the general
pleasure.

12 UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND

Baltimore City is a center of culture and education. It offers much stimu-
lation to the visitor and the inhabitant in the way of drama, music, art,
lectures, libraries, and the like. The Student Government Organization
plans trips to various functions and points of interest. It buys blocks of
tickets for special plays and concerts, and sells them to student nurses at
cost because they may not know until the last minute whether they can go.

In cooperation with the Director and the faculty, the students make rules
and administer them in regard to discipline, house regulations, and con-
ventions. This not only makes for a better spirit of democracy, but prepares
the student for coming leadership and participation in the community.

All of these activities help the students to realize their profession. Inter-
est, relaxation, responsibility, and cooperation are thus fostered and form
a vital part of the student's life.

REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION

Evidence of personal stability for nursing in relation to physical health,
emotional stability, and general qualifications of personality, cultural de-
velopment and maturity must be submitted, and a personal interview with
the Director of the School of Nursing or one of her assistants is required.
If the student is too far distant from the University the interview is given
by a member of the National League of Nursing Education in that area.

Graduates of accredited secondary schools will be admitted by certificate
upon the recommendation of the principal. In selecting students, more
emphasis will be placed upon good marks and other indications of probable
success in nursing rather than upon a fixed pattern of subject matter.

THE SCHOOL OF XURSIXG

CURRICULUM

BASIC PROFESSIONAL COURSE (Three- Year Course)

The curriculum covers a period of three years after
which time a diploma in Nursing is awarded by the
University of Maryland upon recommendation by the
School of Nursing. The pre-clinical period consists
of the first six months and is devoted primarily to
the study of the sciences basic to nursing, the principles
and practice of nursing, and the supervised practice of
skills learned in the classroom. The students who meet
the requirements both in scholastical and clinical work,
will be accepted into the School of Nursing as clinical
students.

Following the preclinical period students are assigned
within a division for five hours of clinical practice and
two fifty minute periods of class per day, including
meal hours. One free day a week is given, and careful
planning makes it possible to give this day off without
class interference. At the present time plans are being
made to institute a forty hour week.

The Executive Committee may, at any time, termi-
nate a student's course if she fails to meet the stand-
ards of the School of Nursing or the University of
Maryland.

A three-year Graduate Nurse is pictured at upper left.
FIVE-YEAR COMBINED ARTS AND SCIENCES AND NURSING

The first two years of this curriculum comprising
a minimum of 60 semester hours exclusive of hygiene
and physical activities, are taken in the College of
Arts and Sciences at College Park and the professional
training is taken in the School of Nursing of the
University of Maryland in Baltimore.

In addition to the Diploma in Nursing, the degree of
Bachelor of Science in Nursing may, upon the recom-
mendation of the Director of the School of Nursing, be
granted at the end of the professional training.

A student may enter this combined curriculum with
advanced standing but the second year, consisting of a
minimum of 30 credits, exclusive of physical training,
must be completed in College Park. To qualify for the
combined degree the student must complete the re-
quired work at College Park before beginning the pro-
fessional training in Baltimore.

1. It is requested that students maintain a satisfactory record in health
(both physical and mental), in clinical, and in theoretical work in order
to remain as a student in the School of Nursing.

2. An annual report of the achievement of the student is given to the
student and a copy is sent to her parents or guardian. The minimum
passing grade for individual course is D, but the student must maintain
a general average of C or above.

3. A fee of $5.00 is charged for reexamination in a course.

4. If a student does not pass a specific clinical service, she is permitted to
repeat that service on her own time. If she has had other difficulties, in
most cases, she may be asked to withdraw from the School of Nursing.

5. When a student is not meeting the standards of the School, both she and
her parents or guardian will be notified. Under circumstances beyond
her control she will be permitted to bring her record to a satisfactory
level of achievement.

SANTA FILOMENA*

THE LADY WITH THE LAMP

By HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW

(Dedicated to Florence Nightingale, "The Angel of Mercy of the Crimea," 1820-1910)

(Louisa Parsons, founder of Maryland's School of Nursing, graduated from the
Nightingale School in London)

Whene'er a noble deed is wrought,
Whene'er is spoken a noble thought,
Our hearts, in glad surprise,
To higher levels rise.

The tidal wave of deeper souls
Into our inmost being rolls,
And lifts us unawares
Out of all meaner cares.

Honor to those whose words or deeds
Thus help us in our daily needs,
Any by their overflow
Raise us from what is low!

Thus thought I, as by night I read,
Of the great army of the dead
The trenches cold and damp,
The starved and frozen camp.

The wounded from the battle plain,
In dreary hospitals of pain,
The cheerless corridors,
The cold and stony floors.

Lo, in that house of misery,

A lady with a lamp I see

Pass through the glimmering room,

And flit from room to room.

And slow, as in a dream of bliss,
The speechless sufferer turns to kiss
Her shadow, as it falls
Upon the darkening walls.

As if a door in heaven should be
Opened and then closed suddenly,
The vision came and went,
The light shone and was spent.

On England's annals, through the long
Hereafter of her speech and song,
That light its rays shall cast
From portals of the past.

A lady with a lamp shall stand
In the great history of the land,
A noble type of good,
Heroic womanhood.

Nor even shall a wanting here.
The palm, the lily, and the spear,
The symbols that of yore
Saint Filomena bore.

* Santa Filomena, patron Saint of nurses. In Pisa, Italy, a painting by Sabatelli repre-
sents the Saint as a beautiful, nymph -like figure, floating down from heaven, attended by
angels bearing the lily, palm, and javelin. In the foreground are shown the sick and maimed,
healed by Filomena.

PROGRAM OF STUDY

The present School of Nursing offers a program of study, instituted in
1924, to two groups: to those who desire to complete -their work in approxi-
mately thirty-six months, and to those who desire the five year combined
academic study and specialization in nursing. Those who complete the
latter course successfully receive the degree of Bachelor of Science and a
diploma in nursing.

OBJECTIVES OF THE SCHOOL OF NURSING

In attempting to anticipate the future professional needs of its graduates
and community, the University of Maryland School of Nursing carefully
selects young women to educate them to become professional nurses who
will administer sympathetic and safe nursing care to the sick, and who will
teach the principles of health and prevention of disease needed in an ever-
changing society.

Vaccination against Typhoid Fever and Smallpox are required of all
students before admission to the School of Nursing. Medical care is pro-
vided for student nurses. Dental care is not provided in the Health Service,
but care is furnished by the Dental Clinic, second floor of University Hospital.

Time which is lost due to illness in excess of fourteen days during the
three-year period, is made up at the discretion of the faculty.

EXTRA PROFESSIONAL PROGRAM

The student nurses have a student government organization the function
of which is to assist in the government of the school in cooperation with the
faculty, and to plan recreational activities.

Recreation facilities are utilized to the utmost. The "Y" pool is used
for Tuesday nights. Here the students enjoy the relaxation of a cool swim
or the hilarity of sport in the water after a busy day. During the winter
season, basketball is played in the "gym" of the church next door. Parties
for tennis and other sports are made up from time to time and held in the
parks or other surrounding facilities. A dance or a big party is held about
once a month. The nurses' dining room is used for informal dances and a
downtown hotel ballroom for formal ones. The adjacent Schools of Medicine,
Pharmacy, Dentistry, and Law cooperate in these dances and add to the
general pleasure. Recently a Glee Club has been organized.

* Subject to change pending combined recreational program which is now being estab-
lished in the University of Maryland.

UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND

OBJECTIVES OF THE SCHOOL OF NURSING

In attempting to anticipate the future professional needs of its gradu-
ates and community, the University of Maryland School of Nursing care-
fully selects young women to educate them to become professional nurses
who will administer sympathetic and safe nursing care to the sick, and
who will teach the principles of health and prevention of disease needed
in an everchanging society.

PROGRAM OF STUDY

The present School of Nursing offers a program of study, instituted in
1924, for two groups: to those who desire to complete their work in approxi-
mately thirty-six months, and to those who desire the five year combined
academic study and specialization in nursing. Those who complete the
latter course successfully receive the degree of Bachelor of Science and a
diploma in nursing.

FACILITIES FOR EDUCATION

The University of Maryland Hospital, a general hospital, has a capacity
of 435 beds and 70 bassinets. The hospital units as well as the Out-Patient
Department afford valuable opportunities for clinical experience which
includes a study of family and community relations. There is under con-
struction a psychiatric division and additional facilities, including medicine,
surgery, pediatrics and obstetrics areas of the hospital. Clinical experi-
ence in Psychiatric Nursing is provided at Sheppard and Enoch Pratt Hos-
pital and the Springfield State Hospital. Public Health Nursing experience
is available with the Baltimore City Health Department.

LIBRARY FACILITIES

RESIDENT FACILITIES

All students reside in Louisa Parsons Hall which is under the direction
of a graduate registered nurse. The residence, in addition to student rooms,
contains the library, the main reception room and living room with tele-
vision set, radio, piano and other provisions for comfort and entertaining
guests. In addition there is provided a kitchen and a laundry.

THE SCHOOL OF NURSING 9

HEALTH SERVICE

The School of Nursing maintains a Health Service for the students under
the general direction of a Committee on Health Services. Periodic health
examinations are provided for each student.

Time which is lost due to illness in excess of fourteen days during the
three-year period, is made up at the discretion of the faculty.

STUDENT ACTIVITIES

The student nurses have a student government organization the function
of which is to assist in the government of the school in cooperation with the
faculty, and to plan recreational activities.

All of these activities help the students to realize their profession. Inter-
est, relaxation, responsibility, and cooperation are thus fostered and form
a vital part of the student's life.

10 UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND

SCHOLASTIC REGULATIONS

Grading

The scholastic standing of a student is recorded in terms of the following
symbols: A, B, C, and D, passing; F, failure; I, incomplete.

Mark A denotes superior scholarship; mark B, good scholarship; mark C,
fair scholarship; and mark D, passing scholarship.

In computing scholastic averages, values in "points" are assigned to the
following grades: A=4; B=3; C=2; D=l; F=0.

A scholastic average of C is required for advancement and graduation.
Students who have not obtained passing marks will be required to take a
re-examination in the subject failed — or, if indicated, repeat the course.
If a student does not pass a specific clinical service, she is given special
guidance.

Attendance

Students may be absent from class only upon approval of the instructors
responsible for the course. No student should absent herself from class at
any time unless she has at least a "B" average.

Report

Reports of the achievement of the student is given to the student and a
copy sent to her parents or guardian.

THE SCHOOL OF NURSING

COMBINED ARTS AND SCIENCES AND NURSING COURSE

In order to receive the Bachelor of Science degree the
student must fulfill the grade requirements of the
university.

A Graduate Nurse of the combined program is pic-
tured at the upper left.

BASIC PROFESSIONAL COURSE (Three- Year Course)

The curriculum covers a period of three years after
which time a diploma in Nursing is awarded by the
University of Maryland upon recommendation by the
School of Nursing. The pre-clinical period consists
of the first six months and is devoted primarily to
the study of the sciences basic to nursing, the principles
and practice of nursing, and the supervised practice of
skills learned in the classvoom. The students who meet
the requirements both in scholastical and clinical work,
will be accepted into the School of Nursing as clinical
students.

The Executive Committee of the Faculty may, at anj
time, terminate a student's course if she fails to meet
the standards of the School of Nursing or the Univer

sity of Maryland.

10 UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND

GENERAL INFORMATION

The school of nursing of the University of Maryland, the second school
of nursing to be founded in Maryland, was organized in 1889 by Louisa
Parsons, a student of Florence Nightingale, and a graduate of the St.
Thomas Hospital School, London. Miss Nightingale, because of her in-
terest in Miss Parson's new American school, designed the present gradu-
ate nurse's cap.

The original curriculum, two years in length, was extended in 1902 to
three years. For a generation, well prepared graduates of the growing
school nursed in the community, founded schools in Maryland and other
states, and served in their professional organizations. In World War I
graduates of the school went with the Medical Unit of the University of
Maryland- working on foreign soil with the same surgeons under whom
they had studied in the University Hospital. In 1920 the school of nursing
became a separate unit in the University, although it functioned as a
Hospital School.

In 1926, during the period of grading of schools of nursing by the
nursing profession through its appointed committee, the University of
Maryland institute a five-year program. The student after completing two
years of academic work in the College of Arts and Sciences and three
years in the School of Nursing received the Bachelor of Science degree
and the Diploma of Graduate in Nursing.

Recent trends in nursing created in Maryland, as in other states, a
demand for a program leading to the Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing.
The faculty, therefore, advised the President and Board of Regents of
the University to inaugurate such a plan to replace the existing five-
year curriculum. On May 26, 1952, the four-year program was publicly
announced by the President of the University. A Dean was appointed and
members of the faculty were accorded academic status. Through this action,
the Nursing School became a degree-granting institution. The School of
Nursing, being a part of the State University which is also a Land Grant
College, receives the funds for operation from the University. A separate
budget prepared by the Dean and members of the faculty is administered
and controlled by them.

During the present period of national transition in schools of nursing,
the University of Maryland is obliged to offer two programs in basic
nursing education: the four calendar year program, leading to a B.S.
degree in Nursing, and the three-year diploma course inaugurated in 1902.
Both programs are planned in light of their objectives and of community
needs.

MEMBERSHIP AND ACCREDITATION

The University of Maryland, which incorporates the School of Nursing
with all of the other schools of the University, is a member of the Asso-
ciation of American Colleges and is accredited by the Middle States Associ-
ation of Colleges and Secondary School.

THE SCHOOL OF NURSING 11

Both programs in Nursing, the three and five (now four-year program)
are approved by the Maryland State Board of Examiners of Nurses; and
by the National Nursing Accrediting Service for the five-year interim
accreditation.

FACILITIES FOR INSTRUCTION

Facilities of instruction of the college students in the degree program
are: the various colleges of the University of Maryland at College Park,
the professional schools of the University — Dentistry, Law, Medicine,
Pharmacy, the University Hospital, and the college of Special and Con-
tinuation Studies on the Baltimore campus.

In addition to these, the School of Nursing makes use of the following
Clinical Nursing Facilities:

1. The University of Maryland Hospital — a general hospital with
approximately a 700-bed capacity.

a. Medical Nursing

b. Surgical Nursing

c. Pediatric Nursing

d. Obstetric Nursing

e. Out-Patient Nursing — over 300,000 patient visits were made in
the Out-Patient Department in 1951

2. Springfield State Hospital (Psychiatric Nursing)

3. Baltimore City Health Department (Public Health Nursing)

4. University of Maryland Nursery School, College Park

5. Baltimore City Hospitals (Communicable Disease Nursing)

LIBRARY FACILITIES

Libraries are located at both the College Park and Baltimore divisions
of the University. In addition to the general library, volumes on the
College Park campus are shelved in the Chemistry, Entomology and Mathe-
matics Departments, the Graduate School, and other units.

The general library is a depository for publications of the United States
Government, and numbers some 75,000 documents in its collection.

The University Library System is able to supplement its reference
service by borrowing materials from other libraries through Inter-Library
Loan or Bibliofilm Service, or by arranging for personal work in the
Library of Congress, the United States Department of Agriculture Library,
and other agencies in Washington.

The School of Nursing Library is an integral part of the University of
Maryland Library System, and is under the Director of Libraries of the Uni-
versity. Both scientific and recreational collections of books are provided in
the library which is conveniently located on the first floor of Louisa Parsons
Hall.

12 UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND

The facilities of the Medical, Dental, Pharmaceutical, and Law School
Libraries are available to the students of the School of Nursing. Addi-
tional facilities are provided at the main branch of the Enoch Pratt Free
Library, which comprises the public library system of the City of Balti-
more; the Peabody Library which comprises a large collection of non-
circulating books; the Maryland Historical Society Library.

ADMISSION OF FRESHMEN

Graduates of accredited secondary schools will be admitted by certifi-
cate upon the recommendation of the principal. The admission require-
ments of the School of Nursing are practically the same as the other
schools of the University, except that no foreign language is required.
Emphasis will be placed on indications of probable success in nursing
rather than upon a fixed pattern of subject matter. The following distri-
bution of subject matter is, desirable:

English 4 units, required for all divisions of the University

Mathematics 2 units, one each of Algebra and Plane Geometry

is desirable

History 1 unit, two units are desirable

Foreign Language

(substitute) 1 unit, two units are desirable

The school is open to those American citizens who can qualify for admis-
sion. Foreign students may be admitted if approved by the Committee on
Admissions. Applicants should be 17 to 40 years of age. Evidence of per-
sonal fitness for nursing in regard to health, personality, and moral char-
acter must be submitted. A personal interview with the Dean of the School
of Nursing, her assistants, or Student Advisor is required.

Prospective students for the diploma program are required to take the
Pre-Nursing and Guidance Test Battery given by the Department of Meas-
urement and Guidance, of the National League for Nursing to determine
potentialities for nursing. Directions for this Pre-Nursing Test will be
sent following review of the applicant's creditentials by the Committee on
Admissions. A fee of five dollars for the test is paid directly to the National
League for Nursing, 2 Park Avenue, New York, New York. Degree stu-
dents are exempted from taking this test, but are required to take the bat-
tery of tests administered by the Psychology Department, University of
Maryland.

THE SCHOOL OF NURSING 13

Application Procedure

other expenses as may be found necessary, although every effort will be
made to keep the costs to the student as low as possible.

symbols: A, B, C, D, passing, F, failure, I, Incomplete. Mark A denotes
superior scholarship; mark B, good scholarship; mark C, fair scholarship;
and mark D, passing scholarship.

In computing scholastic averages, numerical values are assigned as
follows: A-4; B-3; C-2; D-l; F-0.

A scholastic average of C is required for graduation and for junior
standing. The C average will be computed on the basis of the courses
required by each student's curriculum. The average of transfer students
and those seeking combined degrees will be computed only on the courses
taken in residence in the University of Maryland and in satisfaction of the
non-curriculum requirements of the college granting the degree. An over-all
average will also be computed to include all courses taken in the University
as a basis for the award of honors and such other use as may be deemed
appropriate.

BASIC PROFESSIONAL NURSING PROGRAM LEADING TO THE
DEGREE OF BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN NURSING

The goal of professional nursing today, is the promotion of those
principles of living which bring about a healthy society. Formerly the
student nurse spent most of her time learning and carrying out the tech-
niques and skills concerned with the care of the sick. While she still must
be able to master these skills and techniques, her energies must be directed
largely toward learning to give the patient and his family, in the different
areas in which she lives and works, nursing care in its entirety.

The Combined Academic and Professional Nursing Program leading to
a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing consists of forty-eight calendar
months. It is designed to provide those educational experiences which
will prepare young women not only for progressive hospital nursing, but
for community nursing as well.

The main objective, however, for this curriculum is to prepare care-
fully selected young women for professional nursing. This aim proposes
that the student will live in an educational environment which promotes
the growth and development of the student as a person and as a citizen.
In addition to learning to reach and maintain good health for herself, the
student is given opportunity to learn to promote health programs for
others. Upon the completion of certain prescribed learning experiences,
the graduate should be able to fill first level positions in professional nursing.

THE SCHOOL OF NURSING 27

The first year of the student's learning experience is spent on the Col-
lege Park campus, and is devoted largely to a general academic and
cultural program, including physical, biological, and social sciences. Funda-
mentals of nursing care with some practical application of body mechanics
is given. Field trips are made to community health and social agencies,
so that the student will acquire early in her work a philosophy of positive
health.

Beginning the second week of June, or at the end of the first academic
year, the student receives a six-week orientation period at the University
Hospital, Baltimore campus. During this period, she is introduced to
patient care in the hospital and out-patient department as field experi-
ence required with the course Nur. Ed. 7, Introduction to Nursing. During
this period, Nursing 104, Applied Nutrition, is given. A review of frac-
tions and decimals is given also.

At the close of the summer session, the student receives a vacation until
the beginning of the second academic year at College Park.

During the second year, the student continues the study of the bio-
logical sciences and social sciences, including the Social Aspects of Nursing.
At the end of this year, she receives the month of June for her vacation.

In July, the student returns to the Professional School in Baltimore to
begin her work in Medical and Surgical Nursing, Nur. 101-102. Follow-
ing these courses, her clinical experience is arranged in sequence. Classes
and clinical assignments are so arranged that theory and practice are
given concurrently.

The following program is typical; however, clinical experience in nurs-
ing will be scheduled according to a planned rotation.

THE PROGRAM IN AMERICAN CIVILIZATION

Because the University feels that it is vital for every student to under-
stand this country better, it has established a very comprehensive program
of American studies. Work in American Civilization is offered at three
distinct academic levels. The first level is required of all freshmen or
sophomores at the University of Maryland and is described below.

BASIC NURSING PROGRAM (THREE-YEAR)

This is a basic nursing program which consists of three calendar years
and leads to a diploma in nursing. Upon completion of the course, the nurse
will be eligible for the State Board examination for the registration of
nurses and be prepared to accept a position as staff nurse in hospitals and
clinics. The aims, however, differ from the college program.

In attempting to anticipate the future needs of students who select the
diploma course in nursing, the University of Maryland School of Nursing
carefully selects young women who are high school graduates, and edu-
cates them to become proficient nurses who can meet the modern nursing
standards of progressive hospitals and clinics. While pursuing this course,
it is expected that the student will gain a knowledge of her own health
needs, those of her immediate environment, as well as the community, and
the world in general.

The program is arranged so that preparation includes experience with
a wide variety of patients of different ages and in various stages of illness
in the hospital and out-patient department. All areas of the curriculum
emphasize the importance of considering the physical, the psychological,
and the sociological factors affecting the health of the individual.

As an introduction to nursing, the student begins her work with a two
weeks orientation in the field of community health. Field excursions are
made to various health and social agencies. Following this, the student
studies the physical, biological, social and health sciences. On medical

THE SCHOOL OF NURSING 41

and surgical wards the preventative and curative aspects of nursing are
intensely stressed.

Throughout the entire program, the student learns how to administer nurs-
ing care to patients and to groups through guided experience on the medical,
surgical, pediatric, and obstetric divisions of the hospital and the out-
patient department. Clinical experience in psychiatric nursing is gained
at the Springfield State Hospital. Home visits are made in the community
for observation only.

16 UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND

SCHOOL OF NURSING

Florence M. Gipe, R.N., Ed.D.

The School of Nursing of the University of Man-land offers both general
and fundamental education for students who wish to prepare for professional
work in the broad field of nursing activities.

Two curriculums are available; one, a four-year curriculum leading to the
Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing; the other, a three-year curriculum upon
the completion of which the student is awarded a diploma in Nursing.

The objective of the four-year curriculum is to aid the student to develop
habits in critical and constructive thinking, as well as skills in nursing, which
will continue to influence her growth and learning, and will enable her to
assume the responsibility of a professional nurse and of a useful member of
her community.

The objective of the three-year program is to acquaint the student with
the understanding, skills and attitudes which will qualify her to assist in
planning and conducting total nursing care of patients, as well as to develop
competence as a member of a health team under supervision in hospitals, clinics
and in homes.

History

The School of Nursing of the University of Maryland, the second school
of nursing to be founded in Maryland, was organized in 1889 by Louisa Parsons,
a student of Florence Nightingale, and a graduate of the St. Thomas Hospital
School, London. Miss Nightingale, because of her interest in Miss Parsons'
new American school, designed the present graduate nurse's cap.

The original two year curriculum was extended in 1902 to three years. For
a generation, graduates of the growing school served in the community, founded
nursing schools in Maryland and other states, and participated in their pro-
fessional organizations. In World Wars I and II, graduates of the school
served on foreign soil with the Medical Units of the University of Maryland.

In 1920 the school of nursing became a separate unit of the University,
although it continued to be administered as a hospital school.

In 1926 the University of Maryland instituted a five year combined academic
and nursing program. The establishment of this type of program was in
keeping with the trends in nursing education at that time. The student, after
completing two years of academic work in the College of Arts and Sciences
and three years in the School of Nursing, received the Bachelor of Science
degree and the diploma of graduate in nursing.

Recent trends in nursing created in Maryland, as in other states, a demand
for a four year program leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Nurs-
ing. The faculty advised the President and Board of Regents of the University
to inaugurate such a program to replace the existing five year plan. On May

THE SCHOOL OF NURSING 17

26, 1952, the four year program was publicly announced by the President of
the University. A Dean was appointed and members of the faculty were ac-
corded academic status. Through this action the Nursing School became a
degree-granting institution. The School of Nursing, being a part of the State
University which is also a Land Grant College, receives funds for operation
from the University.

Membership and Accreditation

The University of Maryland, which incorporates the School of Nursing
with all of the other schools of the University, is a member of the Association
of American Colleges and is accredited by the Middle Atlantic Association of
Colleges and Secondary Schools.

Both programs in Nursing, the three and live (now four year program),
are approved by the Maryland State Board of Examiners of Nurses, and by
the National Nursing Accrediting Service for the five year interim accreditation.

FACILITIES FOR INSTRUCTION

Facilities for instruction used by the School of Nursing include: the
various colleges of the University of Maryland at College Park, the professional
schools of the University, Dentistry, Law, Medicine and Pharmacy, and the
College of Special and Continuation Studies on the Baltimore campus.

In addition to these, the School of Nursing makes use of the following
facilities:

University of Maryland Hospital: General hospital of oOO beds, providing
medical, surgical, pediatric, and obstetric services.

Out-Patient Department: Clinics for all services housed in the Old Uni-
versity Hospital building. An average of 500 patients are treated daily.

Psychiatric Institute: Recently constructed addition to the University
Hospital with facilities for 105 patients, the psychiatric out-patient department
and Child Guidance Clinic.

University of Maryland Nursery-Kindergarten School: Unit operated by
the College of Education to provide training and experience for students
interested in nursery-kindergarten school education.

Springfield State Hospital: Hospital of 2900 beds located in Sykesville,

Maryland for the care and treatment of mentally ill patients.

Baltimore City Health Department: Agenc) providing health teaching and

nursing care of patients in their homes.

LIBRARY FACILITIES

Libraries are located at both the College Park and Baltimore divisions

of the Universities. In addition to the general library, volumes on the

College Park campus are shelved in the Chemistry, Entomology, and Mathe-
matics Departments, and Graduate School, and other units.

The general library is a depository for publications of the United States
Government, and numbers some 75,000 documents in its collection.

The University Library System is able to supplement its reference
service by borrowing materials from other libraries through Inter-Library
Loan or Bibliofilm Service, or by arranging for personal work in the Library
of Congress, the United States Department of Agriculture Library, and other
agencies in Washington.

The School of Nursing Library is an integral part of the University of
Maryland Library System, and is under the. Director of Libraries of the Uni-
versity. Both scientific and recreational collections of books are provided in
the Library which is conveniently located on the first floor of Louisa Parsons
Hall, the student dormitory.

The facilities of the Medical, Dental, Pharmacy and Law School Libraries
are available to the students of the School of Nursing. Additional facilities are
provided at the main branch of the Enoch Pratt Library, which comprises the
public library system of the City of Baltimore; the Peabody Library which
comprises a large collection of non-circulating books; and the Maryland
Historical Society Library.

DEFINITION OF RESIDENCE AND NON-RESIDENCE

Students who are minors are considered to be resident students if at the
time of their registration their parents have been domiciled in this State for at
least one year.

The status of the residence of a student is determined at the time of his
first registration in the University, and may not thereafter be changed by him
unless, in the case of a minor, his parents move to and become legal residents
of this State by maintaining such residence for at least one full year. However,
the right of the minor student to change from a non-resident status to resident
status must be established by him prior to the registration period set for any
semester.

Adult students are considered to be residents if at the time of their registra-
tion they have been domiciled in this State for at least one year provided such
residence has not been acquired while attending any school or college in
Maryland or elsewhere.

BASIC PROFESSIONAL NURSING

PROGRAM LEADING TO THE

DEGREE OF BACHELOR OF

SCIENCE IN NURSING

32 UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND

BASIC PROFESSIONAL NURSING PROGRAM

The Basic Professional Nursing Program leading to the degree of
Bachelor of Science in Nursing is designed to prepare carefully selected young
women for professional nursing. This proposes that the student will live in
an educational environment which will contribute to her growth and develop-
ment as a person and as a citizen. Upon the completion of the program, which
is forty-eight months in length, the graduate should be able to fill first level
positions in professional nursing.

The first year is spent on the College Park campus. This portion of the
program is largely an academic and cultural one. Courses in physical, biological
and social sciences are given. In addition, certain specified courses related to
the social aspects of nursing are taught by a professional nurse who resides
on the campus and also acts as a counselor to the students.

At the end of the first academic year, the student receives a six-weeks
orientation to the University Hospital on the Baltimore Campus and other
community health agencies. A basic introductory course in the principles
and practice of nursing is given with planned experience in the hospital and
Out-Patient Department. Applied nutrition is given also.

At the completion of this orientation period, the student is on vacation
until beginning the academic year at College Park.

During the second year, the student continues the study of biological and
social sciences. Included in this year is a study of the health needs of the
child in Nursing Problems with Children.

The student returns to the clinical division in Baltimore in July. The
following two years are spent in the study of nursing in the various clinical
areas such as medicine, surgery, pediatrics, obstetrics, psychiatry, public
health, and communicable diseases. Clinical experience and theory are closely
correlated to give the student an understanding of total nursing care of the
patient.

Learning experiences are provided to help the student develop a sym-
pathetic understanding of human nature which will enable her to deal help-
fully with the patient, his family and with co-workers in her own and related
agencies.
